In elite athletes with meniscal injuries, always repair the lateral, think about the medial! A systematic review

Riccardo D'Ambrosi et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the time required to return to sports (RTS) after surgery, the rate of revision surgery and the time required for RTS after revision surgery in elite athletes undergoing meniscal repair or partial meniscectomy, particularly analyzing the difference between medial and lateral menisci. The findings suggested that partial meniscectomy and meniscal suture exhibited similar rates of RTS and return to pre-injury levels in elite athletes with isolated meniscal injury. However, athletes required more time for RTS after meniscal repair and exhibited an increased rate of revision surgery associated with a reduced rate of RTS after the subsequent surgery. For lateral meniscus tears, meniscectomy was associated with a high rate of revision surgery and risk of chondrolysis, whereas partial medial meniscectomy allowed for rapid RTS but with the potential risk of developing knee osteoarthritis over the years. Therefore, a suture on the lateral meniscus is recommended in elite athletes, due to the high healing potential, reduced risk of chondrolysis and the high risk of revision surgery after partial meniscectomy. Several factors need to be evaluated while dealing with the medial meniscus, such as the need for rapid RTS activity and the potential risk of developing osteoarthritis.

Nineteen percent of meniscus repairs are being revised and failures frequently occur after the second postoperative year: a systematic review and meta-analysis with a minimum follow-up of 5 years

Conradin Schweizer et al.

Summary: This meta-analysis evaluated the overall failure rate of meniscus repair with a minimum follow-up of 5 years and found that the failure rate remains at 19.1% in long-term studies. There were no significant differences in outcomes between different types of tears and repair techniques, except for inside-out repair showing a lower failure rate at 5 years compared to all-inside repair.

Meniscal Treatment as a Predictor of Worse Articular Cartilage Damage on MRI at 2 Years After ACL Reconstruction: The MOON Nested Cohort

Faysal F. Altahawi et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the potential impact of meniscal repair or partial meniscectomy performed during ACL reconstruction surgery on articular cartilage damage. Through MRI evaluation, the study found that meniscal injuries requiring surgical treatment predicted worse articular cartilage damage at 2 to 3 years postoperatively.

Summary: Repairing the medial meniscus may result in a small reduction in PROM scores at two-year follow-up, but these differences are not likely to be important to patients or clinicians.

Younger Patients Are More Likely to Undergo Arthroscopic Meniscal Repair and Revision Meniscal Surgery in a Large Cross-Sectional Cohort

Kendall E. Bradley et al.

Summary: In recent years, there has been an increasing trend in meniscal repair surgeries, with patients younger than 30 years old being the most likely to undergo repair for a meniscal tear. Revision surgery for meniscal repair or debridement is more common in adolescents and patients who undergo an index meniscal repair.

Risk factors of cartilage lesion after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

Zirong Huang et al.

Summary: Anterior cruciate ligament injury is the most common sports injury, affecting knee joint function and exercise. Surgical reconstruction is the preferred treatment, but can lead to articular cartilage injury and osteoarthritis. This review explores the factors influencing cartilage lesions after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, providing insights for delaying and preventing osteoarthritis progression.
